Perspective
The four parties in the coalition which qualified for the House of Representatives failed to win a majority of seats.[22] After the election results were announced, the Nasdem Party and the National Awakening Party which supported Anies Baswedan as part of the Coalition of Change for Unity voiced their interest in joining the government coalition.[23]
In the leadup to the 2024 Indonesian local elections, the coalition further expanded in August 2024 to include the Prosperous Justice Party, the United Development Party, and the Perindo Party, leaving just the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle outside of the coalition. It was also renamed as the Advanced Indonesia Coalition Plus (Indonesian: Koalisi Indonesia Maju Plus).[24] Such coalition had formed up in numerous local elections such as in Jakarta, Central Java, and North Sumatra but the national coalition were divided in their preference in places such as Banten, West Java and East Java. The difference in preference however did not affect the relations of parties in the national level as Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said that Prabowo allowed all member parties to choose their own preferential candidates.[25] Prabowo himself understands that difference of preference on the local elections are unavoidable.[26]
